THE HOLY GRAIL HAS ARRIVED: ASTON ONE-77

Yes, all-caps is necessary here. Aston Martin has released its first fuzzy image of their new flagship and work of absolute art, straight from Venus' vagina.

It will be a great car no doubt, but I'm not sure its worth 2 mil. It will probably be based on their existing DB9 platform and the engine will most likely reworked version as well. I don't think they would be able to justify R&D for an entirely new model if only 77 are being made. I guess if you already have the Veyron, it kind of makes sense for exclusivity

If what i read about the MB/Aston partnership is true they are going to be using the 6.2 liter AMG motor in future Aston models.

It looks like a cross between a vette, 599 GTB, and a DB9. the engine hints of a mercedes build from the pagani zonda.

As for 2 mill.....COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG!

I can see rick james buyin it.

Looks ok. But then again, I think Aston's three models or so all look pretty similar.

The nose looks like a C6 Corvette, the profile from the front fender to the back of the door looks like a C5 Corvette (chessy optional body molding you could order on C5) and the a$$ end looks like a friggin Lotus Elise.

Good thing they are only releasing a computer generated concept, hopefully they real thing will be cleaned up.
